  I notice that none of the ASP.NET AJAX demos work in IE 10 on the Windows 8 developer preview, on both the desktop and the metro interfaces. Is there an easy fix for getting the demos to run? Does anyone else have this experience?

  Hi Tom,
  
  IE 10 breaks all ASP.NET WebForms based sites, not only on Windows8, but on Winndows7 as well. The reason for that lies within the framework (.NET) itself. You could read more about it here -- http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BugAndFixASPNETFailsToDetectIE10CausingDoPostBackIsUndefinedJavaScriptErrorOrMaintainFF5ScrollbarPosition.aspx.
  
  In addition, Windows8 is and IE10 are not production ready pieces of software and it is expected some things not to be working.
  
  We are always looking into new technologies and we are making sure that our products work with them. But until we have a stable release of IE10 and / or Windows8, say RTM or RC, we cannot really offer solutions for any quirks and bugs, as things might change in matter of days and even hours.

  Tom,
  
  In fairness to telerik, Steven Sinofsky did say, when he announced the developer previews, was that one of the things you could expect (from Microsoft) was no support!
  
  Not just you, but everybody, so even telerik, if they wanted to could only do so much to get things working right on this platform 'cos they couldn't get any help from MS with any problems they find with it.
  
  I know that telerik are committed to supporting this platform, as soon as they are able and you will prolly find that as the Win8/IE10 platforms mature on the road to General Release, telerik will be working hard to get their tools working for all.

  Thanks for the thorough response. The link is especially useful.
  As you and Stuart note, Win8 and IE10 are very beta-ish, and there is a long way to go before release.

  I'm glad to hear that Telerik is keeping an eye on it at least!
